BROWN PRESIDENT VIGTIN OF FRAUD Reported Swindled Out of $100,- 000 in Stock Deal Washington, Aug. 31 (A—A stock swindle which is said to have caused a $100,000 loss to Professor A. E. Rand, of Brown university, Provi- dence, R. I, is under investigation by the post office department and rewards of $500 each for the arrcst of Robert B. Webster and C. Thomas Mitchell have been offered. The plan of the swindlers was simple. They learned that Profcs- sor Rand owned a block of preferred stock in an eastern firm last March. Then they wrote to him ,telling him the concern would be organized and that each of his shares might be converted into a share and a quarter of common stock paying a guaranteed dividend of 7 per cent. After a personal interview, at which | the men appeared and obtained the stock completed the deal, they quickly disappeared. Post oifice inspectors said the men had records with the depart- ment and-that they used several aliases, BOBBY JONES SPEEDS AWAY FROM BRITISHER (Continued from First Page) on the 527 yard 16th hole while the Briton could not get his poise and took 41 for an §3. The ninth hole was the only one the British champlon could win and he halved only five. The American champion needs no spectacular shots as aside from the first and the ninth he played well with all his clubs. He ®ot down a couple fairly long putts but he was seldom in scrious trou- ble calling for startling recoveries. The ge gallery that followed this match at the van of the others was pleased with the fine golf of the American title holder but got no thrill from the one-sided contest. Dr. William Tweddell, captain of the British team had better success than Perkins, scoring & good 73 and | gaining a lead of 3 up over George Von Eln who took 41 for the sec- ond nine to total 77. Francis Ouimet did not do so well as Jones but he came within a stroke of par 70 and got a lead of six up on Major C. O. Hezlet, who took ten more strokes than the Bos- ton star. TROLLEY CAR WINNER IN BOUT WITH TRUCK Bridgeport Man Drives in Front of Electric and Is Squeezed Against Other Car. William® Fine of 307 Marion street, Bridgeport, matched a small oll truck against a trolley car on Church street about 12:45 o'clock this noon and lost the decision. Fine had been parked at the curb opposite the rallroad station, a heavy truck owned by Joseph Ar- bour & Son being parked just ahead of him. The Bridgeport man at- tempted to pull out into the street ahead of a Hartford-bound trolley and failed, his truck being hit by the trolley and wedged between it and Arbour's truck. The fenders and cab of the oil truck, which is owned by Fine's sister, Pearl Fine, also of Bridge- port, were badly damaged, and the cab was caught between the other two vehicles in such a way that the driver was Imprisoned in it. A trol- ley wrecker ‘was summoned to the scenc and made short work of dis- entangling the mix-up. Trolley traf- fic on Church street was halted for about 15 minutes, while automobiles were forced to detour around the railroad green, ST. TTHEW'S CHURCH PICNIC Members of 8t.
